Chapter 1 - First sight.

Forks fucking high school. Brilliant. This was why I hated my existence. Not only did it drive me to the brink of insanity from shear boredom, but also because of the leech like female population who all seemed intent on getting in to my pants. Some of the skanks at this place (Lauren Mallory for example) probably had more STD's than most 'women of the town' so they were called in my day. Not that it would matter as I can't actually catch STD's because I'm technically dead already…

So its pretty obvious why I didn't date. I mean what would I say 'Hello my name is Edward Cullen, I enjoying listening to music, reading, oh and I'm a vampire, so I'm secretly struggling not to drink your blood.' I think not.

It wasn't like I was at all interested in any of the girls that were here anyway. Okay…. to be honest I've just never been interested in girls full stop. I shuddered thinking about the most recent delivery I had received from Tanya (the vamp version of Miss Mallory). I mean who sends a 100 year old virgin her used lingerie!

As I pulled into the parking lot, I could almost feel my family bracing themselves, it wasn't easy for vampires to attend high school. Even Alice's unstoppable enthusiasm seems to be waning and of course that meant Jasper's was too.

At this moment Rose was almost sat on Emmett's lap and was thinking some things about her position that made me want to wash my eyes out with bleach. Literally. I wonder if that would actually hurt me….

Getting out and leaning against my car, I put my hand over my eyes trying to block out the meaningless babble that coursed through my brain. Who ever said it would be a blessing to be able to read minds didn't know what the hell he was talking about, particularly when you have to listen to Tyler Crowley's sick memories of what Lauren did to him last night. I REALLY didn't want to know.

Alice noticing me shudder in distaste shot me a sympathetic look.

What are the humans thinking about now that has you so disgusted? She thought

Let me guess it has something to do with Lauren.

She couldn't help but cringe when she remembered the vision she had a few weeks ago of another of Lauren's more experimental endeavors.

I glared back at her in confirmation, trying to breath evenly. Could a vampire even get a headache? Yes, yes they fucking well could.

And that's when it happened.

What first caught my attention was silence. Complete and utter silence. It was like someone had pressed mute on a TV… I looked up.

The most stunningly, beautiful girl I had ever seen had just stepped out of her car.

She was gorgeous. I'd never thought that Rosalie would ever be out done when it came to beauty, but this girl made her look down right plain.

Her hair was long, dark and lustrous, red and chestnut tinting the mahogany swath and even with its soft curls it reached halfway down her back.

Her face was a smooth heart shape, her skin almost as pale as ours was, seemed to glow even in the shadow of the low lying clouds

Her soft curves were clearly visible through her tight grey sweater dress, but it was her eyes that got my attention.

They were a dark, rich violet and I could see from here that she wasn't wearing contacts.

'Fuck me' I heard Emmett whisper at vampire speed, followed, naturally, by the resounding thwack as Rosalie's hand connected with the back of his head.

But I have to say I agreed with him.
